The use of shoulder arthroplasty has increased drastically since the early 2000s. Originally described as the gold standard for the treatment of advanced glenohumeral osteoarthritis, advances in implant design and type have allowed for a greater number of indications, expanding its use worldwide. These implants have led to an improvement in several specific outcomes, such as shoulder function, range of motion, and patient satisfaction. Current designs replicate shoulder anatomy and biomechanics, significantly contributing to patient success. As further studies are conducted, implant designs and clinical application will continue to advance, thus improving the future benefits of shoulder reconstruction.
